Libby KaneOn November 17th, The Awkward Silents played the MC Erny Gallery at WHQR. A self-described super group, the duo of Jim Ellis and Doug McFarland musically jump between genres and influences, at times a musical concoction of New Orleans piano, Upstate New York guitar and fly-over state vocal harmonies. Jim boasts years of playing in the Wilmington area with a number of groups and artists, both live and in the studio. Doug, despite his advanced years and sometimes youthful appearance, has been playing and writing solo for the past six years, aging him terribly. The two are formally playing as a duo following years of casual encounters, and they're known for their sincere lyrics, thoughtful songcraft and mind-blowing prowess with Photoshop. If you missed the show or are looking to hear a little more of The Awkward Silents' sound, WHQR will be broadcasting highlights on December 2nd and 3rd.

WHQR will be broadcasting the concert on 91.3FM:Friday, October 28 at 7:00pmSaturday, October 29 at 9:00pm In their own words: "A group of musical explorers, well versed in the art of "you know, it's not jazz, but it's not really blues, it's just kind of what we do" We can make you dance one minute, laugh the next, then blush, then cry the next. We could talk about the vast distances traversed in search of the perfect cup of coffee, or the adversities faced in fording the Amazon in search of the elusive, rare herbal cure for stupid drivers as well, but I'm sure we'll get around to writing a song about it sometime." Band members: Callan Trippe [lead vocals], David Vaughn [piano, backing vocals], Patrick Carr [guitar], Stuart Currin [drums, backing vocals] and Samantha Lynn [bass, backing vocals] FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONCERT CLICK HERE.

Raised by enthusiastic, musically-inclined families and ever-encouraging parents, the band's cradle was rocked by the hands of legends: Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, Joni Mitchell, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, CSNY, Earth Wind and Fire, and Led Zeppelin, among others. Now that they've developed their own musical taste, the members of Striking Copper have joined forces to combine their inspiration and ideas into something new- something that fills the gap between rock, folk, and Americana. Their repertoire reflects the influence of contemporary and classic artists from all genres, and the band believes that music is a way in which one tells a story; and it is not just what the story is about, but how it is presented and how it is preserved.
